Trinity’s Justin Bird claims podium finish in national cycling race

 

Trinity High School sophomore Justin Bird recently finished in third place in the “Hell of the South” cycling race in Lewisburg, Tenn. He rode for Papa John’s Junior Cycling Team.

 

The race is challenging. Cyclists race through back country roads and hills that attempt to mimic a European spring classic race, such as the famous Paris/Roubaix “Hell of the North” in France.

 

Bird sprinted for the podium in a field of 36 Category 3 men, with a cumulative climbing elevation gain of over 4,000 feet, finishing the 66 miles in just under three hours.

I didn't know what forum to put this one in.

 

Congrats Justin!

 

And can anyone else tell us if there are any scholarship opportunities for cyclist?
